Quiet Book Sew-Along: Overview {Free 12 Page Book Tutorial!}

2016 April 5

Today is a momentous day, the Quiet Book Sew-Along is finished! I am so glad that to share this book and I am excited to know that there are so many of you that want to make one too! I will always treasure the Quiet Books I have made for my kids – and hope they treasure them later on as well. (I should find the one I made my oldest and post it. I made it when I was a “sewing newbie” and cringe looking at it now – let’s just say my tastes have changed a bit! *edit* The very first Quiet Book is now posted!)

Welcome! Find everything you need to sew this Quiet Book here. All post listings, links, buttons and more. All of this information was posted in a Sew-Along tab at the top of the blog. I’ve decided to move everything here to keep things simpler. You can also find a link to all of this information on the right sidebar.

This 12 page Quiet Book Sew-Along is finished! These pattern pieces and tutorials will be always be available, so feel free to join in whenever you can.

Please share your quiet books!

These are fantastic ideas! I love how some of them are fun stuff and others are educational, like the pants and belt page, and the belly button? TOO CUTE! My best friend in the whole wide world is due to have a baby in the fall, and now I can’t wait to make a book for them!

I am enjoying this. I have copied the other one from 2014 and I am now copying this one – don’t want to miss out on anything. I will be making this for my adorable Grandson. When my children were small I made 14 quiet books for them and they used them a lot, but now I would like to make these as well. I would like my Grand Children to have special from me to keep for after I am gone. Thank you.

I made 2 MANY years ago for my daughter, so I know how well the kids love the books! Yours look amazing! I have one question… I have been reading and don’t see anywhere where the size of the page is mentioned…are they 12×12 or is that to big? To a point I know it is however big I want it, but for the acitvity that yours have…how big do you recommend for a page? I just got my last grand child (a boy) 2 weeks ago and want to start making his book now.

Hi Cheri! (Great name by the way!) Thanks so much! Each page in this tutorial is roughly 8″ or so wide by 9″ or so high. I found this was nice for the kids to play with and was still manageable to carry around Hope that helps!

Thank you for this tutorial. I made beautiful quiet books for me year-0ld twin granddaughters and can say they love them. However, I have recently had to remove the ribbon that was eased to put pages into the covers and replace with grommets. Perhaps because they were young, the pages got all twisted together. I will use grommets from now on.
